I forget if there is a lesson on it, but a strawman is essentially misinterpreting someone's argument, refuting that misinterpreted argument, and then acting as if you has successfully refuted the original argument.
It works kind of like this:
A: "I believe we should get rid of guns in America."
B: "Oh, so you hate the constitution? Well, this is America, and anyone who refutes the constitution is wrong, so you are wrong."
